Every team needs an enforcer we have had our fair share in the past could do with one or two more at the moment with a fire in their bellies, the only difference with Bailey is he is a little less subtle in his approach at times than say Barrie Mac was. If you are offended by the bad mouthing , unlucky its always been there and IMO always will its part of the psychological aspect of the game.

It was a good game to watch the two top teams knocking lumps out of each other , shame at present we are not in that position, round two in two weeks !!

Mc dermott would take it and give it out. bailey is a cheap shot merchant who ids not prepared to take it back. A forearm into a prone player on the ground. how hard is that

Didn't happen,but don't let yer dislike for a player get in the way of the truth!!

Bailey dishing it out reminded me of when he tried it on with Sculthorpe and received a master class in accurate punching and was very amusing to see

It only didn't happen because he caught the player's leg as he was swinging. If he hadn't, it would have been a swinging arm right into the guy's head as he was on the floor.


It's quite clear though that Leeds fans are incredibly blinkered when it comes to Ryan Bailey. It matters not what a complete thug the guy is, Leeds fans will always argue for him. Pointless thinking any of them will ever admit what he really is.

The ones I know don't rate him

I'm just glad he is pony as Leeds with another decent prop would be an even more scary prospect.

Bailey is comically savage. He is an out and out thug and should never be likened to McDermott. He was a firey git at times but nothing as warped as Bailey. In the context of the tackle, ripping repeatedly at Roby's shirt until it came off (thats what he did - watch it back) was symptomatic of an absolute nut-job.

Against Manly he involved himself repeatedly in situations that had nothing to do with him. He ran in to every tackle looking to get involved in a fight. Presumably then some Manly player foolishly called him a 'black nice bloke' which was dumb in the extreme. By falling into that trap Manly have given one-eyed Leeds fans an excuse to absolve Bailey of any wrong-doing in that game.

That's what I was tring to get across to the Leeds fans last night. He just goes looking for a fight. I agree with you about the Roby shirt, he could have pulled him to the ground by his shirt, but he repeatedly ragged it until it came off his back.

Unfortunately we are just bitter Bradford fans so not entitled to say anything about either Leeds, Halifax of Huddersfield. Because if we do, it will be valueless right?

Not at all free speech and all that!!
It's good that bulls fans can take time out to offer their opinion's on our player.
As for being a thug or cheap shot coward look it up in the dictionary and all you'll find is a picture of a fat old no9 in a bulls shirt!!
